Guadalajara

About the restaurant

Pímu = “Palma” en Lengua Purépecha.

Pímu es un tributo a la Cocina Mexicana con la que crecimos y nos recuerda ese regreso a casa. El Chef Luis Antonio Miranda toma como base recetas tradicionales y mediante la experimentación de ingredientes endémicos y de temporada crea nuevos olores y sabores que nos conducen por un viaje desde el Norte hasta el Sur de nuestro País.

El espacio es un Oasis de Calma en el corazón de la Colonia Americana dedicado únicamente a 26 comensales que disfrutan bajo una palma que nos guarda bajo su sombra y nos otorga el placer de detener el tiempo y fluir a través de los sabores, los olores, las historias, la vida.

*Nuestra recomendación especial es el OMAKASE (Menú degustación de 5 tiempos a manos de nuestro Chef) acompañados de coctelería, vinos o destilados mexicanos.

¡Será un placer compartir contigo!

About the restaurant

In its bright and colorful restaurant, Alcalde serves modern Mexican cuisine with upscale flair in its friendly, Guadalajara-area eatery. The tostada de atún tuna piled on a crisp tostada with guacamole and radish and the tartar of smoked tomato juice, scalded egg yolk and pickled vegetables make unique and tasty starters. Some of Alcalde's specialty entries include the smoked octopus with vegetable risotto, the duck in adobo sauce with shrimp, chilies and eucalyptus and the juicy steak in pan jus.

Alcalde's coconut parfait with raspberry ice cream, elderberry juice and cilantro makes a perfect end to a delectable meal.

The Octopus was delicious, one of the best I‘ve had. And the gordita was a nice and delicious surprise. Great service from Alberto. Thanks for the experience. Need to try the great selection of wine next time 😉
